A C#m D F#m
the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how:
A C#m D F#m
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
A C#m
i was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
D F#m
when the water filled every hole.
A C#m
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
D F#m
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.

[Verse 2]
A C#m D F#m
those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
A C#m D F#m
i thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
A C#m
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been
D F#m
silenced forever more.
A C#m
the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
D F#m
it seems farther than ever before
oh no.
D A F#m E
i need you so much closer (4x)
F#m C#m D E
i need you so much closer (4x)
